And also folks have to understand the “star” system with recruiting. It’s beyond flawed. Now much of that is also evaluation. Just remember Jon Taylor was a 3 star kid before UW offered. And Danny Davis was a 4 star WR recruit.
Maybe we have pigs as coaches and they believe they actually have put lipstick on their players?
Yeah they were so incompetent the when they had 4 10+ win seasons and 3 NY 6 Bowls. prior for the Covid year. Yeah he has his flaws no doubt but if you expect a change at HC is going to make this team an 11 -12 win team each year your going to be disappointed. Did you have the same angst when Barry and BB had mediocre years? Even back to back mediocre years. Maybe if the administration would step up and increase the assistant salary pool we might retain a Thomas Brown
Yes. I was concerned during the down years with Bielema and Anderson. Bielema inherited a program that was working, and Anderson didn't understand it at all, wanted to dismantle it, but not in a good way.
Anderson yes, that was universally a disaster. As to BB 2008 was the really bad “down” year. 2012 was not great. My point is he did not get the same scrutiny that PC gets with one current down year. I’m not sure that the program was working when BB took over. The last 2 years were 14-11 with a final 5-7 season. It needed a recharge and Barry was ready for the AD job.
Not Barry, but yes with Bilemna.
The 95 season with Barry was not concerning or his last year at 5-7? He had 2 7th place finishes, 1 in 8th and 2 in 5th. Those teams were brutal to watch. 95 and 96 were under 500 in conference. But The Emperor got a pass for reviving the program and that’s fair. But to say it was not concerning was a bit of red and white goggles
Well if you can get a good recuriter in it can help for lack of resources
Remember Barry in the 90s just took this team out of the dark ages he was getting more rope.
I think another down year there will be more people beating the drum for Leonhard to take over.
